Predictors of Current CD4+ T-Cell Count Among Women of Reproductive Age on Antiretroviral Therapy in Public Hospitals, Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in HIV/AIDS (Auckland, N.Z.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHIV/AIDS is one of the major global public health problems. CD4 is a glycoprotein found on the surface of different immune cells. CD4 cell counts determine the need for screening and prophylactic interventions against common opportunistic infections in those with advanced HIV disease. Thus, this study aimed to assess the predictors of current CD4
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2018. A total of 422 participants in the three public hospitals were selected using a systematic random sampling method. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the important predictors of current CD4
resultsA total of 422 women with a median age of 37.00 years participated in this study. More than one in ten (12.8%) respondents experienced immunological failure. An increased current CD4
conclusionThe immunological failure was relatively low. Maintaining adherence, early identification and treatment of opportunistic infections, and minimizing viral load to undetectable levels may further decrease immunological failure.
